Ibrahimovic stabbed home the opener from close range 10 minutes before the interval at the Friends Arena in the Stockholm suburb of Solna, and then added a penalty eight minutes from time. Sweden were ultimately comfortable winners despite the sending-off of Andreas Granqvist towards the end.

Forward Yura Movsisyan scoredParis twice for Armenia with Aris Ozbiliz and Shakhtar Donetsk star Henrikh Mkhitaryan also on target to blank Denmark. The scoreline equalled Armenia’s biggest ever victory, while for Denmark it was a heaviest defeat in a competitive match since going down 5-1 to Spain at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico.
